Nateland Showcase Night #3: Clean-Comedy Finale Wrapped at Zanies Nashville

Nateland Entertainment’s third-season finale of “The Showcase” taped live at The Lab at Zanies Nashville on June 24, closing out three straight evenings of “good, clean, funny” stand-up. With a sold-out crowd, locked-away phones, and five diverse comics delivering tight, TV-ready sets, Night #3 was everything fans have come to expect from Nate Bargatze’s family-friendly comedy universe.

What Is Nateland Entertainment?

Founded by Grammy-nominated comic Nate Bargatze, Nateland produces live shows, specials, podcasts, and merch built around one promise: “Good. Clean. Funny.”

Nate Bargatze’s “Good, Clean, Funny” Mission

Bargatze saw a gap in mainstream comedy for material you can watch with coworkers, kids, or donors without wincing. By curating comics who ditch the cheap-shock punch line, Nateland gives corporate planners and non-profit coordinators a guilt-free laugh pipeline.

How “The Showcase” Works

Nateland films three showcase nights back-to-back each season. Comics get a polished five- to seven-minute set, professionally shot for release on Nateland’s YouTube channel.

Season 3 in a Nutshell

• Night 1: June 22
• Night 2: June 23
• Night 3: June 24

Live-Taping Etiquette

Expect sealed phones, broadcast-studio lighting, and quick resets between acts. Staff remind the crowd that laughter is welcome—shouting punchlines ahead of the comic is not.

Meet the Night #3 Comics

Nathan Macintosh

Canadian firebrand who landed on Variety’s 10 Comics to Watch 2024. Nathan’s high-octane special “Down With Tech” skewers our social-media addiction—perfect for tech conferences in need of a reality check.

Kira Soltanovich

Nine-year Tonight Show correspondent and veteran writer/actor, Kira’s self-produced special “You Did This to Me” proves that pregnancy jokes can be both edgy and corporate-safe.

John Novosad (“Hippieman”)

Colorado legend whose laid-back delivery and subtle lazy-eye charm anchor the Dry Bar hit “Jokes I Can Only Tell Here.” Novosad’s material bridges Boomers and Gen-Z without a single swear word.

Andy Forrester

“Mr. Foodie” himself—Andy’s expressive, clean dad humor draws comparisons to Jim Gaffigan. His Dry Bar set “Waking Up With a Southern Accent” is a crowd-pleaser for family fund-raisers.

Tim Convy

Former alt-rock front-man turned comic, Tim mixes millennial nostalgia with sharp crowd work. You might also recognize him from Nateland’s consumer-obsessed podcast, The Consumers.

If you missed the taping, you won’t have to wait long—full sets from Showcase Night #3 will be released on the Nateland YouTube channel later this summer. Expect polished clips from each performer, plus possible highlights compilations or behind-the-scenes extras.

Why Clean Comedy Wins for Corporate & Non-Profit Events

• Broad Appeal: Clean material sidesteps HR headaches and donor discomfort.
• Replay Value: Episodes are safe to circulate in Slack or fundraising newsletters.
• Event-Ready Talent Pool: Comics who thrive under Nateland’s clean ethos slot easily into conferences, sales kick-offs, and galas.
